New York Times bestselling duo Doreen Cronin and Betsy Lewin's beloved story about Little Duck's birthday is now available as a Level 2 Ready-to-Read! Happy first birthday, Little Duck! Everyone wants to look their best for the party. But Little Duck has never had a birthday before--so how better to learn how to prepare than to do what all the other animals do! The sheep trim their wool--so Little Duck trims her feathers. The pigs need a mud bath--so Little Duck squishes and squashes, too. All over the barnyard Little Duck snips, slurps, and shimmy shakes herself ready until...WHOOPS! It's party picture time--and Little Duck is a big mess. No matter--it's not something Farmer Brown's frosted maple cake can't fix!
